a doodleview for violette

if you have a moment today, grab a cup of coffee and swing over to canada to say hello to the endlessly creative violette, who featured a little doodled interview with me this morning. like my other doodleviews on artists who blog and pecannoot, this one was quite an honor to do - i've admired violette's expressive art and journals for a long time, and i'm especially taken with her way of weaving creativity into every part of her life. it seems like everything she touches turns into art, and everyone she meets comes away inspired by her.

you can see more of violette's beautiful work in her new book journal bliss, her colorful journal pages and illustrations, and in her online tutorials and workshops. my little girls are captivated by her videos and i think they'd do just about anything to see violette in action. and i know we'd all flip if we got to see her magic cottage and glittergirl van!

the comment section on her blog requires a quick account setup, which you're welcome to do - you can also send her an e-mail at violetteclark(at)shaw(dot)ca, or of course you may come back here to leave your thoughts. hope you enjoy it! thanks for the honor, violette - and if you are a new reader via violette's blog, welcome - so glad to have you here!

roflol loved the interview, and what you would be when you grow up (sorry i meant if you weren't an artist)...and all i can now say is, 'I am sooo honoured that you bought a piece of my art'..the piece I could've sold ten times over, you have good taste aimee, which I already knew.

genius.....sheer, doodle-fun, genius!! i would love to see your "interview" bound as a fun little art book. and i would have ten of them on my shelf at all times (nine to keep and one to give away....ooops, silly selfish me, i meant the opposite....of course!) :))

Absolutely..Doodlicious, You are the queen of brilliant doodles what can I say...Both interviews are so engaging and pure fun to read....look at...very clever Aimee. Many favorites but my favorite favorite was the backwards writing...your style is not a style...it's an invention.

You give the BEST interviews! You know, you should really consider publishing a doodled guide to motherhood/womanhood. Your sense of humor and unique view of life and doodles are so uplifting. They remind me to laugh at life's oddities. Think about it.....

I don't think it's hard to paint because I've always just driven cars with stick shift and never thought that part was hard to learn. Those signs on the other hand - I keep mixing up the round red and yellow with other nice colourful round traffic signs.

Super nice great interview ;) Haha...U make me laugh too girl...:)))I walked home from the supermarket with two heavy bags...I finally got home...sweating... And realized I left my bike at the supermarket...haha...So don´t bike either...:)
